Bizarro Cool Cat Combo
Oh man. Bizarro stories from Superman comics are always weird. But this one might out-weird them all. In "The Invasion of the Bizarro World" story of Adventure Comics #290 (November 1961), everybody's favorite cube-shaped planet disgorges lumpy blue kryptonite beings who rampage and attack the bizarro-people. Blue kryptonite radiation is fatal to Bizarros. But since Bizarros always do the opposite, they cheer the invaders on as thousands perish. In Bizarro City, goateed Bizarro-Hipster No. 1 leads this combo in a rock and roll number while singer Weep-and-Wail Bizarro Lois belts out some awesomely awful lyrics:
Oh them blue, blue-ee-oo monsters
Wriggled to the attack!
Their crazy, cool, cool radiation
Knocked us flat!
But we loves it... Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Us loves it... Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
They am awful to see
But jimminy golly-gee
Them am real good-lookin'
next to (ugh) you 'n' me!
So welcome, Blue Monsters,
We am glad you came!
Destroy, destroy,
Us loves you just the same!
Oobahdeyoobay-Urf... Urf
Ooleeahkooleeah--Urp, Urp!
Up went the monster!
Down went Bizarro!
Who gives a hang
Or a ring-ding-dang?
Yeoowwww!!Just go-go-- go!!
Blue, blue-- true blue
Mah-un-sters!
Squeedleeyah... Voom!!
Wow. Just wow.
